php5-extensions is designed for you to be able to choose amongst all of
the available PHP extension modules.  It doesn't install anything much
itself but it depends on ports that do install the modules, depending on
what you select in the Options screen.

Options are sticky, and you only get asked to set them the first time you
install a port that uses them.  Run 'make config' for the port to change
your initial selections.

Install the databases/php5-mysql port.
